Command Alias Requests

[Badandy]

Hello everyone,

The main purpose of this topic is for requesting command aliases for existing commands. This will not replace the command but just create an alias that will hopefully be easier to remember and better for new players joining the server. Please only request aliases that will help most players. I understand some commands may be a bit long but are less likely to be changed since simplifying them may make it more confusing. Inconsistences between commands that are similar to each other will also be considered. For each request, I ask you to write the reason for it and how it will improve the player experience on the server. This is one of the beginning steps to making this server more player friendly, especially to new players. Feel free to request multiple command alias requests in one reply.

Here is the form to reply to this topic with.

Code: [Select]

[b]Command:[/b]
[b]Command alias requested:[/b]
[b]Reason (Please be detailed):[/b]

Thanks!

A general question but is it possible to essentially allow players to set their own aliases instead of a global list/database? Only concern I would think is people abusing for some commands but in reality, most macros will do that for you any way if you really wanted to?

It could be possible but at this time, it seems like a huge undertaking with possibly limited use by players. I believe the best way forward at this time would be making commands more friendly. I would be afraid of people then forgetting their aliases and then having to look them up in their settings.

Command: /checkpropertytax /paypropertytax /checkpropertyprofit /withdrawpropertyprofit
Command alias requested: /checkptax /payptax /checkpprofit /withdrawpprofit
Reason (Please be detailed): They are always used and the word property is easily misspelled when you type quickly.

Command: /checkpropertytax /paypropertytax /checkpropertyprofit /withdrawpropertyprofit
Command alias requested: /checkptax /payptax /checkpprofit /withdrawpprofit
Reason (Please be detailed): They are always used and the word property is easily misspelled when you type quickly.

Just a suggestion to Khm's post: It'd be better to introduce the /checktax in place of /checkptax and so on.. Provided that there's no /checktax command already in-game.

It's because there's /checkprofit and /withdrawprofit in pns that's why i added the p :P

Command: /use pseudoephedrine, /use red phosphorus and other meth related commands
Command alias requested: /cookmeth1 /cookmeth2 or similar
Reason (Please be detailed): Simplifies the meth cooking process for players not using keybinds and struggling with typing out ingredient names

Would the addition of a "Use" button under /invent help solve this problem? I understand completely that those names would be a pain in the ass to type without mistakes.

I don't think so because as soon as the smoke appears you should be really fast to type the right command else the whole process explose. Players won't have enough time to check the smoke, type /invent, search for the right ingredient and click on use.

A new suggestion has been brought up on the discord. I'm considering adding item favorites so you won't have to search for items you may be using repeatedly. They would be at the top of the list. I think this would be better than creating very specific commands when having a consistent way of using items in a speedy way. I believe it would also be better for new players.
